Summary

For Notes on Bob and Nancy (1970-1977), Hafif assembled images depicting Nancy Buchanan, Robert Walker and other known actors on the beach or in domestic scenes. While editing the material, Hafif additionally co-wrote a script with Buchanan that she subsequently superimposed over the images to make a unifying narrative. Without any dialogue in the film, the narration is done entirely through voice-over. Hafif tells the story of two artists, Bob and Nancy, their relationship and eventual separation.
